The Amazon Appstore is pushing out a minor update this evening, brining it to version 1.14. Besides a few compatibility fixes and the ever-present "stability improvements," they have implemented a new system to help prevent accidental app buying. Now to purchase an application users will have to verify their choice, instead of the application purchase and download happening immediately after a mis-click. This should cut down the number of accidental purchases -- all those $0.99 apps really do add up. I've done this myself, so I welcome the change.

If you don't get the push notification about the update, you can manually initiate it by pressing the menu button, then opening the Amazon Appstore settings, where you're given the option to manually check. It's clicktastic!

I have the HTC evo. I once had the amazon appstore on my phone. Somehow it is now missing and won't show up in the Google market. My angry birds apps that I bought (no ads) won't open now. Any suggestions?

The Amazon Appstore is not available in the Android Market. You need to go to Amazon.com/Appstore and enter your # into the box to the right of the screen. They'll text you a download link for the appstore.

Wish they would focus on their cloud player instead. Have they made the cloud player suck less? I swear to go every time I hit play its: networkerror, networkerror, network error. Amazon IS a freaking error. DAMN YOU GOOGLE WHERE IS MAI INVITE!!!!
